• Tools & PPE: PPE is required; tools may be provided or partially required from the worker depending on employer.
• Travel: some roles involve local travel between sites; out-of-town projects are possible.
• Accommodation: occasionally offered on remote projects; otherwise arranged by the worker (varies).
• Deductions: gross pay may be subject to taxes and statutory deductions; always confirm the pay structure with the employer.

To work legally in Canada, candidates generally need authorization that fits the job and the employer. Common high-level categories include:

• Employer-specific work authorization (tied to a specific employer and role).
• Open work authorization (not tied to a single employer; eligibility depends on your situation).
• Identity documents and (when applicable) additional checks requested by the employer or project.

This page does not replace legal advice. Employers set final document requirements based on project rules and Canadian regulations.

You are a good fit if you…

• can measure accurately and keep clean lines on visible exterior finishes
• understand basic flashing/wrap/sealing details (or can learn fast)
• can work safely on ladders/scaffolds and follow site safety rules
• maintain a steady pace without sacrificing quality
• show up reliably and communicate issues early (materials, access, defects)
• can handle outdoor work in changing conditions

This role is not for you if you…

• avoid physical work or cannot work at height
• skip safety steps to “work faster”
• struggle with basic measuring and layout
• often miss shifts or arrive late
